I do not think Pakistan should trust or entertain any sort of talks with Mike Pompeo. 17 years of war, and Pakistan is the one who has done the most to fight terror and has lost the most in terms of economy, civilian and military lives. The western media always harps on about Haqqanis. But not one in the western media has done any investigative journalist work on how 10000 ISIS members managed to get out of a multi-pronged offensive by Russia-Syria and Iraq-America, and make their way over to Afghanistan. Not forgetting that ISIS has been deployed in North Eastern Afghanistan, right on border with Pakistan's Pukhtun province.

These aren't coincidences. Anyone who terms them as such, is making everyone a fool.

Exactly....cant agree more....

Thunder Genesis

In the late 1990s Pakistan started the software development for JF-17 Thunder.
The software language everyone else uses in military jet programming, is ADA. However, Pakistan Air Force came to a unique decision in the software development of the aircraft.

Instead of using ADA programming language they used C++ because there were literally tens of thousands of young proficient and highly capable programmers of C language in Pakistan.

The entire Software/Firmaware of JF-17 Thunder was written by young Pakistani software programmers in various private industry software-houses under supervision of Pakistan Air Force, and as per the perimeters given to them by Pakistan Air Force.

At the time, when this decision was put into being implemented, nobody else used C language on a military jet and the world ridiculed and laughed at Pakistan Air Force their choice of computer language, to encode the Thunder's combat systems.

But today, the aircraft touted as the world's most advanced fighter jet, the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning ll (JSF), actually uses C language as its main programming language.

Some would claim this as a Pakistani concept, which is now being used by the Americans. The reasoning is simple, because C language is very versatile, unlike ADA which is difficult to program and modify.

This is what Pakistan Air Force realized in the late 1990s. Which is why any weapon can be integrated on to the JF-17 Thunder. Which in turn expands the weapons options for Pakistan Air Force. Be they MAR-1, the Brazilian anti-radiation missiles, or C-802A anti-ship missiles. All are integrated on the JF-17 Thunder. Similarly, new avionics will also be incorporated on the Thunder with ease.

Today, the Americans use C language on the F-35 Lightning lls for the same reason. In comparison an F-22 Raptor is programmed in ADA language and incorporating new weapons or avionics is that much more difficult and expensive.

There is an old saying my dad always taught me, it goes as ... "Sense (common sense) came before book!"

Pakistan Air Force operate more than 10 variants of Dassault Mirage 3 & 5



Pakistan Air Force operate more than 10 variants of Dassault Mirage 3 & 5. Pakistan Air Force inducted their first Mirage-IIIEP in 1968. PAF mirages saw action in 1971 Indo Pak War. Pakistan inducted Mirage-V and further variants afterward, in 1983 Pakistan Air Force inducted F-16AM/BM , original order was around 120 Aircrafts, but they had inducted 54 airframes when further deliveries were stopped due to embargo on Pakistan. Pakistan could not go for any western aircraft to meet their demand of replacing older F-6s and older Mirages , Pakistan decided to domestically upgrade their Mirages.

They acquired surplus airframes from around the world. They underwent upgrade program named Project ROSE “ retrofit of strike element “ . In this upgrade mirages were fitted with new glass cockpit , HOTAS , RWR , New Active and Passive counter measure systems. And newer Radar. Project ROSE has 3 main up-gradation sequences as per requirement of the specific squadron role of who’s mirage will undergo upgrade. ROSE-1 is mainly focused for Mirage Aircrafts which are mainly employed in Air to Air Role. ROSE-2&3 are mainly strike role centric upgrade to mirage airframe. All 3 ROSE are mainly similar with minor differences.

Air to Air Role mirages are fitted with newer Radar which Enhance their Air to air capabilities, most likely the are BVR enabled.

Air to Ground Role mirages are enabled to carry Targeting Pod and recon pods. And ROSE-III are fitted with built in FLIR ( Forward looking infrared ) which really helpful in air to ground Role.

just nice pics of Pakistan Navy Z-9C operating in North Arabian sea

A beautiful and Clear Snap of Aviation Mil MI 35M attack helicopter. IR suppressors on engine exhausts and two additional fuel tanks on wing pylons can be seen.

F-7PG .... soon all 3 sqdns will be move coastal defense duties....

That is such a weird decision, if it is true. They dont have any anti ship missle combat capability.... nor do i know of any anti radition commonality. What are going to do.. drop bombs on moving enemy ships?
